New York, July 97.—When a cat be
comes too defunct for further useful
ness to whom does It belong? This
question.Is agitating three departments
of the city of New York. The cat li
becoming more and more defunct ev'
cry minute and a certain fashionable
apartment house In West Fifty-fifth
street Is threatened with an exodus.
The health department declares that
any apartment house with fewer-than
ten families In It Is outside Its Juris
diction In the matter of removing such
has-heen cats. The tenement house
department'declares -that the board of
health must take charge of the cash,
and both deportments put It up to the
building .department to decide.
In the meantime the Janitor of the
apartment hotel does not dare remove
the cause of all this mlx-up because
and pains for such careless
lion of barren Island perquisites.
The police department referred the
matter, to the building commissioner
to decide. The building departments
said that It has nothing to.do with any
tenement house after the brick, stone
and steel are put together.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
•■( JESUS DINES WITH A PHARISEE ^
By DR. G. A. BEATTIE
LUKE xlv: l it
Golden Text— He that humbleth him
self shall be exalted.—Luke 14: 11.
The Incident recorded In this lesson
occurred during the Perean ministry
of Christ, near the close of His life.
One Babbath a prominent Pharisee
Invited Him to dine with him. Wfhy
he did so can only be conjectured. It
may be safely assumed that It was
not to give Him social recognition or
receive instruction, or like Simon, the
leper, by this act express his gratitude,
but for the sole purpose of entrapping
Him. At this distance It looks like a
plot had been laid. When the people
make a dinner party It Is customary to
Invite those who are congenial and
only those who are friends of the prin
cipal guest. On this occasion the
friends and followers of Jesus are not
Invited, but those who are HIS - most
relentless and bitter enemies, who, we
are told, watched His every word and
act. To eat bread on the Sabbath,
as a guest, was a common thing. The
only rule observed was that every
thing was served cold, having been
cooked on the previous day. As far as
the record goes, Jesus never refused
an Invitation to a meal and once at
least, In the case of Zaccheus, Invited
himself. He embraced every oppor
tunity to reach and teach the people.
He did so at the risk of being called a
glutton. No matter whether He feasted
or fasted, whether He spoke • ‘fept
silent, they found fault with ft m.
Among those present on this occ_..lnn
whs a man who had the dropsy, not
an Invited guest, but In the freedom
of the Eastern home, had come In
through curiosity, or It may be with
a desire to be healed. Or It may be
that he was Induced by the friends
♦if the Pharisee to make a test base.
Jesus read their thoughts and silenced
them by asking them the question, "Is
It lawful to heal on the Babbath day?
And when He had healed him. He
silenced them again by asking, “Which
of you shslt have an ass (better trans
lation, son), or an ox and he fall In a pit
will not straightway pull him out on
the Sabbath day?" This was not the
first time their Sabbatharianlsm ■ had
courted a controversy which always
ended In their discomfiture. The others
were: , ..

It for the physical rest and spiritual
refreshment God designed It should
give and we do no violence to Its
spirit when we perform deeds of
mercy.
Advice to the Guests.
Having silenced the Pharisees, Jesus
would give some wholesome advice to
the guests. In our day*when the king
or the president of the United States,
with ethers xvho have been Invited,
meet at a feast, much care Is taken
In selecting the seats of the guests,
Every one must be seated according
to his rank or position. But then It
seems there was a scramble for the
highest seats. We are told- the con
celt of the Jewish doctors of the law
was Intolerable. Farrar quotes from
the Talmud how, at a banquet of

Sabbath Desecration.
One of the vital questions today Is
how shall the Sabbath be observed?
The faces of our Puritan fathers grew
longer with the shadows Saturday af
ternoon, and never relaxed In a' smile
till Monday morning: nothing was
unnecessarily cooked on the Sabbath:
the catechism, the Bible, and relig
ious books was the only reading. Some
think they were too strict and stren
uous, that they went to the extreme,
but If they did have we not gone to
the other? , , . . .
They confined themselves strictly to
ad thrust himself at a table between
the king and queen, and when re
buked for his Intrusion, quoted In his
defense Eccl. 1G:G, “Wisdom shall
make thee sit among princes.”
He tells them when they are at a
xveddlng not to select for themselves
the highest seats, lest afterward they
should be requested to take n lower
seat and thus he humiliated, but to
take a lower seat nnd afterward be In
vited to go up higher.
He that humbleth himself shall be
exalted. These words express the cen
tral truth of Christ’s parable. How of
ten It has been Illustrated In the his
tory of the world In ever)- department
of life. The ambitious self-seeker has
been turned down, while the moiest.
unselfish, humble inan has been called
up higher. The greatest men have
been noted for their humility. Hu
mility Is best for earth, and It Is the
“passport to promotion Into the king
dom of God," because It Is the splr
of that kingdom.
This truth Is especially appllcab’e
to those ,who belong to that kingdom.
Christ often applied It to RIs own dis
ciples. He had told them that who
ever would be greatest must be the
servant of all. He Illustrated tt by
washing His disciples’ feet. "He came
not to be ministered unto but to min
ister."
In the kingdom of God, the at
rnosphere Is one of love and unselfish
ness end those who have most of this
spirit are most like Christ and reach
the highest place.
"Humble we must be If to heaven we
Dr. Cox said, "I can never for a mo
ment hold with those who say, ’Let
me only within the gate of heaven and
I shall be satisfied.’’ It Is right for
us to pray for an “abundant entrance,"
for many stars In our crown.
Self-exaltation seeks place, honor,
reward, for the gratification of self.
Humility seeks usefulness, character,
service, to others.
Love thyself last: and oh, much Joy
shall thrill thee
As never yet such selfish souls was
given.
Whate’er thy lot, a perfect peace will
fill thee.
And earth shall seem the anteroom
of heaven.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 17—Mrs. Mary

as she left the court-house after tho
adjournment of court, by a drunken

and was on the verge of a nervous col-1

oftlce.
Mrs. Hartje left the court room In I
company with her constant friend and
companion, Mrs. Alexander W. Slo-
cum, a neighbor, who has seldom left
her side since her troublee began. Out-
side the court-house there wee a crowd I
of probably a thousand curious people,
most of them gathered Just to get a
look at the woman who has suffered so
much notoriety.
Just as she reached the corner of the I
court-house a big fellow, who looked
like nn Iron worker, reached out from
the crowd, nnd, catching Mrs. Hartje
by the arm, dragged her acroee the
pavement, at the same time calling
out loudly: 1
"Come with me, Mary."
With a scream of terror, Mrs, Hartje
broke away from her assailant and
started to run down the street to her
attorney's office, a block away. The |
and unexpected attack that not a hand
was raised to Intercept the man aa he
■lodged through and got away.
Mrs, Slocum called for a policeman, ,
nnd when one came running up she
pointed out the wrong man. The men
was promptly arrested end taken to
Mr. Freeman's office, where Mr*. Hart
je had him set fit liberty at once by
declaring he was not the man. During
the walk to the attorney’s office the
crowd gathered about the officer and
his prisoner and wanted to beat the I
man. As soon ns released, the man,
who was terribly frightened, dlsap-
peered.
